Classwork Page

On this page:

Use this page to view the classwork information that guardians and students can view from Home Access Center. The Classwork page displays assignments that have been assigned in the Teacher Access Center Gradebook for a course or standards-based competency group.

Teachers select whether an assignment is published to Home Access Center. If the assignment is published, the teacher also selects whether the scores for the assignment are published. The Classwork page initially loads only the published assignments and scores, but you can choose to include unpublished assignments to see all Gradebook assignments.

The page supports two group by options for viewing assignments:

Course	Displays the student's assignments and scores course by course. This option also shows details about the student's Gradebook averages for the course so it is useful for reviewing a student's progress for a course.
Date	Displays a list of all of the student's assignments by due date. This option helps you to see the assignments a student needs to complete for a date.

Note

Classwork can be displayed for the current year only. If you have selected a prior year environment, classwork information will not display.

For Home Access User

Select to display the classwork as it would be displayed if the user who logged into HAC was a student or guardian

Select:

Guardian - to display the classwork information as it would display for a guardian.
Student - to display the classwork information as it would display for the student.

Note

The Classwork page displays the same assignments and scores that are shown on HAC's Classwork page, but the pages look different. Additionally, the eSchoolPlus Classwork page does not use all of the options for configuring classwork that are available in the HAC Building Configuration. For example, the HAC Building Configuration may be defined so the Overall Average information is hidden for students, but the information will still display on the eSchoolPlus Classwork page.

To view HAC's Classwork page as it displays for a specific guardian or student, use the Impersonate - HAC option available from the Contacts or Addresses page.

Within each section, two grids display if assignments exist for the class.

Assignments	Displays assignment information for the class. Including the assignment due date, category, score, total points, and weights.
Category	Displays the category information used to calculate the mark average for the class.

Assignments Grid (Unlabeled)

If the Home Access Center Building Configuration is defined to display the last date updated, then a message displays below this grid indicating the last date that assignments were updated.

Field	Description
Date Due	Date the assignment was due. Assignments that are due in the future are not included in averages and do not display on this page.
Date Assigned	If the teacher entered a date assigned, displays the date that the assignment was assigned to students.
Assignment	Description of the assignment. To display a window with assignment information, click the assignment description link. If the assignment was associated with one or more competencies, an asterisk displays at the end of the assignment description.
Category	Category for the assignment (such as Homework or Quiz). Categories can be defined at the district-level or building-level. The teacher selects the categories to use for Gradebook for a course-section.
Score	Student's score for the assignment. This value is either a number or a Gradebook alpha mark. Gradebook alpha marks are defined by the building. An alpha mark may indicate: The assignment should be excluded from the student's average (such as M for Medical Exemption). The student earned a percentage of the possible points (such as D for 65%). To determine the number of points that a student earned for an alpha mark that is equivalent to a percentage, multiply the percentage for the mark by the number of points for the assignment. For example, if a D is equivalent to 65% and the total possible points for the assignment is 10, then the student earned.65 * 10 = 6.5 points for the assignment. For a category, a teacher can choose the number of lowest scores to drop or not to drop any scores for a category. When an assignment is dropped or excluded, the points for the assignment will not be included when calculating the points for the category. Scores with a strikethrough indicate the score was dropped. Note that teachers can define an assignment so it is never dropped even when it is the assignment with the lowest score in a category. If displays next to the score, the score was recorded as a retake. If displays next to the score, the score has a published comment. Click to display the comment.
Total Points	Total points students can earn for this assignment. Extra credit assignments do not use total points so total points, weighted total points, and percentage will not be shown for these assignments. The score for the extra credit assignment will either be added to the student's points for the category or added to the overall average after it is calculated. If the assignment was dropped as a lowest score or excluded, the total points displayed will not be included in the sum of points for the category.
Weight	Weight of the assignment within its category.
Weighted Score	Score to use in average calculations based on Score * Weight.
Weighted Total Points	Points to use in average calculations based on Total Points * Weight. If the assignment was dropped as a lowest score or excluded, the weighted total points displayed will not be included in the sum of points for the category.
Average Score	Class average for the assignment. This column only displays if the Home Access Center Building Configuration is defined to display it.
Percentage	Student's percentage for the assignment calculated as (Weighted Score / Weighted Total Points) * 100.
Published	A checkmark displays in this column if the assignment is published. Assignments and scores that are not published only display if you selected the Include Unpublished Assignments checkbox in the Selections panel. Remember that only published assignments will display in Home Access Center.

Category Grid (Unlabeled)

The columns in this section are based on how the teacher selected to average points for the course-section.

The student's overall average calculation is shown below this grid. Note that this average may not reflect an average that is used to calculate student marks as it includes all categories for the class.

Field	Description
Category	Category included in the average (such as Homework or Quiz). Categories can be defined at the district-level or building-level. The teacher selects the categories to use for Gradebook for a course-section. The last row is labeled Totals and displays the totals for the categories.
Student's Points	Sum of the weighted score for all assignments for the category. Dropped scores are not included in the points for the category.
÷ Maximum Points	Sum of the Weighted Total Points for all assignments for the category. Points for dropped or excluded assignments are not included in the maximum points for the category.
= Percent	Percentage for category calculated as (Student's Points / Maximum Points) * 100.
Category Weight*	Weight assigned to the category for the average. This column does not display if the teacher has selected to use total points, instead of category weights, to calculate averages.
= Category Points	Points earned for the category calculated as (Percent / 100) * Category Weight. This column does not display if the teacher has selected to use total points, instead of category weights, to calculate averages.
# of Dropped Assignments*	Displays the number of assignments that were dropped as the lowest scores for the category. Teachers choose the number of lowest scores to drop by category.
# of Excluded Assignments*	Displays the number of assignments that were excluded from the points for the category. The teacher may exclude an assignment from a student by entering an alpha mark that is defined to exclude it. Or, an assignment may be excluded if the student has no score, and the teacher chosen to exclude assignments with missing scores.
